Froxlor is a free and open-source server management panel used for managing web servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Froxlor on a Windows 10 machine.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
To download Froxlor, visit the official website https://froxlor.org and select the latest version of Froxlor available for Windows.
Once you have downloaded the Froxlor installation file, extract it to your web server document root directory. If you are using Apache, extract it to "C:/Apache24/htdocs/" and if you are using Nginx extract it to "C:/nginx/html/". Remember to replace "C:/Apache24/htdocs/" or "C:/nginx/html/" with your web server document root directory path.
Next, we need to configure our web server to host Froxlor on your Windows 10 machine.
If you are using Apache, open the Apache configuration file "C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf" and add the following lines of code to the file:
Alias /froxlor "C:/Apache24/htdocs/froxlor"
<Directory "C:/Apache24/htdocs/froxlor">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
If you are using Nginx, open the Nginx configuration file "C:/nginx/conf/nginx.conf" and add the following lines of code to the file:
location /froxlor {
root C:/nginx/html/froxlor;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root C:/nginx/html/froxlor;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
Froxlor requires a number of dependencies to be installed before starting the installation process. Here are the dependencies you need to install:
Now that we have completed the necessary configurations and dependency installations, we can install Froxlor. Navigate to the Froxlor installation directory through your web browser using the URL "http://localhost/froxlor/". A setup page will be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
That's it! You have successfully installed Froxlor on Windows 10. You can now access the Froxlor administrative panel by navigating to "http://localhost/froxlor/".
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
